Colour: dark ruby, almost violet.
Nose: very ripe and rich in alcohol to the nose. Mainly red/black fruit: cherries, raspberries, hint of plums, touch of herbal notes and black
fruit liquor; tiny hint of oak. Overall smell is very powerful and warm in alcohol.
Palate: Suddenly warm and a bit astringent, note of herbal and black fruit (cassis, cherries)... Lacks a bit of acidity, ripe and warm overall.
Medium to full in body, quite astringent and young tannins – a bit aggressive
(25th September – The Sampler – Islington – Enomatic)
